乔治亚州（Georgia）有一条查特胡奇河（Chattahoochee River），热爱这条河的人们称之为“胡奇”（The Hooch）。今年这条河被国内资源部命名为国家水道（National Water Trail），成为第一个被纳入美国国国家步道系统（National Trails System）的河道。
联邦政府帮助当地社团和各州保护国家水道，让更多的人共享其利。
国内资源部部长肯•萨拉查（Ken Salazar）最近强调保护和恢复主要河流的另一项努力：美国大型户外河道倡议（America’s Great Outdoors River Initiative）。萨拉查说，国内资源部正与各州政府、美洲印第安人部落和当地社团共同努力，以各社区为主导， “重振我们国家河流的活力，扩展人们钓鱼、游泳、驾船等与大自然接触的机会”。
目前有51个正在实施的河流项目，每一个州和哥伦比亚特区（District of Columbia）都有一个，查特胡奇河国家休闲区和国家水道（Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area and National Water Trail）就是其中之一。（如图所示）。

The Chattahoochee River in Georgia is called “The Hooch” by the people who love it. This year it was designated as a National Water Trail by the U.S. Department of the Interior, the first in a network of waterways that will be added to America’s National Trails System.
The federal government helps local groups and states protect national trails so more people can enjoy them.
Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar recently highlighted another effort to conserve and restore key rivers: America’s Great Outdoors River Initiative. The Interior Department is working with states, American Indian tribes and local groups in community-led efforts "to revitalize our nation's rivers and expand opportunities for people to fish, swim, boat and otherwise connect with the natural world," Salazar said.
There are 51 ongoing river projects, one in each state and the District of Columbia. One is the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area and National Water Trail, seen above.
